Exercise Caution here: Under the {{1992ma}} version, if your {{isdaprov|Failure To Pay}} also amounts to an {{isdaprov|Illegality}} it is deemed to be an Illegality, and if there are two {{isdaprov|Affected Parties}} there is a signficant delay in your ability to close out. A bit of a {{t|trick for young players}}.

Per Mr Firth’s bible, it was changed because it was found to be difficult in practice to implement a transfer or amendment after an {{isdaprov|Illegality}}.  Also, it could be that people realised that if an {{isdaprov|Illegality}} occurred you don’t want to have to wait 30 days to terminate, especially since you cannot rely on {{isdaprov|2(a)(iii)}} to withhold payments in the mean time.
They changed this because in practice, it turned out to too be hard to implement a transfer or amendment after an {{isdaprov|Illegality}}.  Folks realised that if an {{isdaprov|Illegality}} happens you don’t want to have to wait 30 days to terminate, especially if you can’t rely on {{isdaprov|2(a)(iii)}} to withhold payments in the meantime.
 
This was raised at a recent last {{ISDA}} meeting: {{A&O}} pointed out that there was a template amendment agreement to change the {{1992ma}} {{isdaprov|Illegality}} definition into the {{2002ma}} (if you don’t want to use the 2002 to start with).
